**Innovative Beverage Highlights Waste Recycling Efforts at Climate Summit in Azerbaijan**
In a creative twist at the COP29 climate summit taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan, Singapore is making waves with its innovative approach to sustainability. Delegates attending the summit are being treated to a unique beer – a hoppy pilsner called NEWBrew – crafted from recycled toilet water. This setup not only supports hydration among negotiators but also serves as a conversation starter around the importance of recycling and water reclamation.
Located in a retrofitted stadium, the Singaporean pavilion stands out from the rest as it offers not just any beverage, but a bold statement on environmental consciousness. Delegates surprised by the unusual ingredient are quickly reassured by Singapore's youth delegation, encouraging them to embrace this eco-friendly option. Samantha Thian, a leader within the delegation, noted that participants are often intrigued, and many return for another round after tasting it.
NEWBrew, packaged in brightly colored cans adorned with solar and rain graphics, is the result of a collaboration between the local craft brewery Brewerkz and Singapore's national water agency. The initiative aims to normalize the concept of water recycling while drawing important attention to the city’s efforts to utilize reclaimed water in everyday life.
As discussions about climate change and sustainability take precedence at COP29, Singapore's inventive beverage not only satisfies a thirst for refreshment but also inspires dialogue about innovative ways to tackle modern environmental challenges.
